Rest Eternally in Peace Major Winters. You have lived a good life and have been a positive influence on so many that have never had the honor of meeting you. May GOD bless and keep you! My heartfelt condolences go out to your family.

R.I.P. Major Winters. Your story and the portrayal of it in the series brought about a deeper appreciation of the sacrifice that was made by your generation during WWII. It also had the additional effect of creating a better sense of appreciation of Veterans of all wars by the younger generations. Godspeed, sir.

God rest valiant Major Dick Winters, bless and keep well his family all their lives.

God bless our World War Two veterans for keeping us free.

Aim at the high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, not the second time and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect. Finally you'll hit the bull's-eye of success.

For so long as one hundred men remain alive, we shall never under any conditions submit to the domination of the English. It is not for glory or riches or honours that we fight, but only for liberty, which no good man will consent to lose but with his life.

Like Joshua Chamberlain, Dick Winters was a magnificent example of what Stephen Ambrose called the "Citizen Soldier"...the non-professional who rose from obscurity to lead men in times of deadly peril.

My favorite line from Band of Brothers...when leading his men into Bastogne and a retreating infantry officer tells him they have been cut off and are now encircled...."We're Airborne; we're supposed to be surrounded."

And how loyal his friends were to his dying day - says so much about the man. He wanted his privacy until the very end . I'm so grateful he shared his story and so much of himself with all of us. Telling that story for those that can't or won't. What a truly remarkable and amazing man that I had the pleasure to live near and to meet. I will never forget you. Rest in Peace Sir.
